Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., a subsidiary of REV Group® and leading manufacturer of custom-built, heavy-duty fire apparatus, will exhibit the latest in fire apparatus and technology, including the first North American style fully electric fire truck at FDIC International (Fire Department Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis, Indiana from April 28-30, 2022.

REV Fire Group’s Vector™ will make its debut at FDIC, allowing attendees to see and learn about the first North American style fully electric fire truck. Developed with technology partner Emergency One Group LTD – maker of the world’s first EV fire truck – Vector packs 316 kW of proven automotive-grade batteries to deliver the longest electric pumping duration in the industry. This enables fire departments to drive and pump on electric only.

Ferrara will display the following products at Booth #4101:

  • Cinder® Custom Pumper from Gary (IN) Fire Department: Specs include a 24” front bumper extension, a 102” wide rescue style extruded aluminum body, full height/full depth rear compartment and six roof top storage compartments.

The small device can be easily installed into the cab headliner with white and red LED lights which exceed NFPA surface illumination requirements, providing the necessary cab interior lighting. 
  • ECO IDLE-TEC™: The idle reduction system specifically designed for fire apparatus that serves to reduce operating costs, protect the environment, and improve driver safety and comfort.
  • Active Air Purification System: Kills 99 percent of pathogens, including the virus which causes COVID-19, in the air and on surfaces.

“At Ferrara, every truck is authentic, just like our team and we look forward to seeing you at FDIC,” said Kent Tyler, President of REV Fire Group. “We are extremely excited and proud to share the Ferrara story and show off our line-up of heavy-duty fire trucks this year at FDIC.”
